Trade Review

‘Practitioners of peasant history will benefit from the guides to bibliography and analysis of past ideas and present preoccupations, while newcomers are given a useful guide to the state of the subject. Those familiar with the peasant world will find well-known subjects presented from a new perspective.’
Christopher Dyer, University of Leicester, Agricultural History
